So Merry Christmas to everyone.

I hope have you all have a good one.

Same to all (including dennis and IMM - what's happened to him anyway?)

Maplin as pimping a nice present he might like - still time for him to
pick one up from his local store apparantly:

Looking forward to Christmas even less than usual. 20 miles down the M1
to Brat 1's MiL for the 25th, then 100-ish miles to Harwich to catch the
23.15 ferry to the Hook of Holland on the 26th. NL temperature forecast
to be -7 to -9 for the 110 mile drive on Monday morning. Oh joy.

normal folk would have done (n)one or the other...

Have fun ;)

Fun, he says. Two days non-drinking, then a couple of weeks with a TT
wife and a MiL who only drinks the odd glass of port. Still, there's
always the rugby club New Year reception with a free bar to look forward
too. As long as I don't fall off my bike again on the way back.

I'd rather sit at home and DIY a bit, watch TV and sip a single malt,
but darker forces are at work.

Meanwhile, I'd forgotten about this: (only in America...)

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes
for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress,
non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice
holiday, practised within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious
persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with
respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of
others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions
at all... and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and
medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally
accepted calendar year 2011, but not without due respect for the
calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society
have helped make America great (not to imply that America is necessarily
greater than any other country or is the only "America" in the Western
hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical
ability, religious faith, or sexual orientation of the wishee.
This wish is limited to the customary and usual good tidings for a
period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday
greeting, whichever comes first. "Holiday" is not intended to, nor shall
it be considered, limited to the usual Judeo-Christian celebrations or
observances, or to such activities of any organized or ad hoc religious
community, group, individual or belief (or lack thereof).
Note: By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This
greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal, and is revocable at
the sole discretion of the wisher at any time, for any reason or for no
reason at all. This greeting is freely transferable with no alteration
to the original greeting. This greeting implies no promise by the wisher
to actually implement any of the wishes for the wishee her/himself or
others, or responsibility for the consequences which may arise from the
implementation or non-implementation of same. This greeting is void
where prohibited by law.
